I wonder if that would slide into the Caterham...

Ha! Maybe a MX5 but not a Caterham. The transmission tunnel is too narrow. Even if it did fit the engine would weigh more than the car! And I'd probably need a shift lever like the 427 Cobra...

1700 with 3 days left. Seems like a steal if it's running.

$17000!!!

Wow. That seems like a LOT.

wdb · 10-28-2024, 09:39 AM

Seems fair to me. Iconic lump, reputable seller.

Amazing an engine alone went for 17k...

Did they split the gearbox off for this sale, or are you talking about another $17k sale?

And I thought the E30 prices in the past month on BaT were ridiculous....

That's what I thought too since you can pick up some M roadsters for not too much more.

True, but not with 9000 miles.

If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
